This seems suspicious seeing that there is no 'Cloth' tag on it. Could someone confirm if this is real or not?

Comment by 1Ska

Probably just a misprint, but I'm pretty sure it is cloth ;)

Comment by Shari

Due to the fact that this item is made by Jewelcrafting, I'm pretty sure it will have no certain 'type' of Armor linked to it. Jewelcrafting is a 'every class' Profession, so that's most likely why there is no armor 'type' for this item.

Comment by nickelleon

Which is stupid. There is no mana based class (or any class if you for some reason wanted to wear this) that can not use cloth. Sure it is an "everybody proffession", but thats for gems and trinkets. This is head armor; it is most likely a misprint.

Comment by Zhanghia

I highly doubt this is a misprint because cloth would actually mean that there was actually fabric involved, also it wouldn't be cloth which would mean that it would have a much higher armor rating involved. Where other epic cloth would be 170-ish, this is 60.

Comment by Onecoolstorm

That is incorrect, I am looking at it right now in game and it has no armor type requirement.

45 mana/5 for 15 seconds gives you only three ticks for 135 mana. "45 mana 5" sounds really nice, but in reality it just means "2% chance on spellcast to restore 135 mana." This is purely a sta/int hat, and a poor one at that.

Edit: Changed to 90 mana over 10 seconds with a 75% proc chance with a 10-second internal cooldown between procs (so it can't proc while it's already up.) Depending on how often you cast, this hat is decent for casters. I'd still prefer either +damage or +healing depending on class though, and it seems a bit on the expensive side coming in around 400-500g.

The proc listed, as mentioned above, is some way from impressive. Even at the minimum cast time of 1.5 (GC), it statistically procs once every 1.5*50 = 75 seconds, for a return of 45*3 = 135 mana. 135/75 = 1.8 mana per second, or 9 MP5. This is the very, very best case, I'm guessing the practical regeneration from it lands closer to 6 or 7 MP5.

Of course, in addition, you won't ever have any joy from it while not casting, unlike items with real MP5 or even Spirit. Avoid at all costs.

Check the durability. It's like a trinket that fits the head slot.

Comment by Neuf

Really hope they plan on buffing this. I thought it might be an item in progress seeing as how it doesn't say "Cloth" or anything. But you guys had some good arguements as well.

Would be nice to have an epic pattern before everyone else though... make a pretty penny selling it since no one else can make it yet.

Heres my math, from a warlock perspective:

Spell details in wowhead (click the green text in the item's tooltip) claims 75% proc rate. As a warlock you can cast Agony, Corruption, and siphon life instantly, then you have 16.5 seconds to spam shadowbolts and incinerate before you start reapplying dots. Assuming you have a 2.5 second shadowbolt for raiding (and to make the math work for incinerate as well), that means 16.5 / 2.5 = 6 (rounded down for latency) casts.

We know blizz won't make this stack (too uber), so assuming it refreshes itself, this proc will be up almost 100% of the time if you dont stop casting. Lifetap is a spell too so this is theoretically possible. Ignoring the first few casts where this is not up, you instantly have 45mp5 for a full boss fight, which can last at least 5 minutes.

5 minutes of 45mp5 equals 2700 mana.

Summary: 2700 mana is, for average warlocks in Karazhan, two lifetaps. No self respecting warlock is going to be NOT using Fel Armor, making this spell LESS than one full heal from a Priest or Paladin, or even one HOT.

Conclusion: This sucks. Burn it. And spend the 1000g in mats on Battlecast Hood, even without the matching pants.

Comment by Impure

This item doesn't have an armor proficiency BECAUSE it is a jewelcrafted item! What this means is that it will NEVER run out of durability, check any site (TB, Wowhead, Alakhazam) or see the item itself in game!

The spell "Verdant flame" Procs instantly, and gives you 45 mp5, for 10 sec. Then after the spell is finished, it has a hidden cooldown on 10 sec, before it procs again. Procced instantly after the hidden cooldown each time. I can make this on my character, and I did some research to see if its woth crafting. Researc meaning crafting it for myselft and equip it. Has alot of stam and int, and the spell is pretty good for long fights. And its quite cheap to make, so overrall a quite good helmet for ling fights. gonna test it more, and perhaps come with a new comment.

Comment by Elementzshammy

Totally, this head gives you 22,5 mp5 sec. Wich makes it a quite good helmet for long fights. Theres no healing at it thoug, so if you havent good enough +healing alredy its not recommendable.

Comment by dukenbear

It really is ANY spell cast, when i recall my totems it will sometimes proc. I like this item very much :)
